Cyclist Graeme Obree was among the guests in Glasgow as Sport Relief chief executive Kevin Cahill announced the £5million Home and Away programme, co-funded by the Scottish Government.

Twice world cycling champion Obree said he believes sport can inspire young people: "Sport and a sense of community can make people feel better about themselves. If you've got a dream, a vision, go for it."
